Andrew Busey

Partner

Andrew Busey

Partner

Turning big ideas into successful products is what makes Andrew Busey an entrepreneur to be reckoned with. It’s also what makes him an invaluable partner to Chaotic Moon studios.

Most recently, he was a venture partner with Austin Ventures, focused on early stage web, mobile and SaaS opportunities. But, most notably, Busey hold 17 U.S. patents, created iChat, the first web-based chat system and WebCenter, the first major web-based customer service technology (now part of Avaya).

He was also the founder and CEO of Challenge Games before it was acquired by Zynga, and wrote the book on Multi-User Domain (MUD) Games, the early predecessors to Massively Multi-player Online Games (MMOs) like World of Warcraft and Everquest. Now, he’s the Co-founder and CEO of Team Chaos, Chaotic Moon’s direct-to-market game development partner.

Ben McCraw

CCO

Ben McCraw

Chief Creative Officer

Ben’s focus is simplifying the complicated. After 15 years with the world’s largest brands, three degrees in Studio Art, Graphic Design and Communications, and three successful design studios, Ben knows how to push successful products. That is why Chaotic Moon tapped him to build the design team from the ground up. Since then, McCraw has assembled the most talented, efficient team of designers in the market today. Under Ben’s leadership, the team can solve any problem through better design, craft the best possible user experience and generally kicks more ass than any other group in the industry. Other than being king of the art kids, he is also the man building Chaotic Moon’s brand and voice

Ben also oversees Chaotic Moon’s operations, focusing on the Project Management practice, building efficiencies, streamlining process, and maintaining product quality. An unapologetic demand for efficiencies and excellence has proven to be the perfect formula for this aggressive organization.

C.K. Sample

EVP of Technology

C.K. Sample

EVP of Technology

Despite achieving excellence in their respective fields, no one at Chaotic Moon is a single-subject specialist. And the multi-talented man leading that charge has to be C.K. Sample III. He’s a honed creative talent directing teams of developers and forging on-point product strategy.

C.K. is a veteran in early-stage web startups and holds a strong editorial background. He’s spent the last decade collecting impressive titles at even more impressive companies like AOL, Mahalo.com, Crowd Fusion and Ceros. He designs and implements cloud-hosted product solutions for a number of large web and mobile properties, and most importantly, he’s the guy behind the core strength of Chaotic Moon.

John Fremont

EVP of Business Development

John Fremont

EVP of Business Development

With two decades of experience in sales and business development under his belt, John Fremont has seen a thing or two. He’s reached his level of success by building and growing relationships with a creative, consultative approach.

He’s responsible for overseeing all business development, sales and marketing activities for Chaotic Moon. However, due to his keen insight and diverse experience in emerging tech industries, he also partners with the CEO on overseeing the product team. Fremont spends his time understanding markets, architecting strategies and following through to development. If you don’t want to uncover the next big thing in your industry, and get it done right, you should probably avoid this guy.

"In reality, the lines between creative developer and technologist are not neatly drawn, and many creative developers have some technology expertise as well. . . examples include chaotic moon."
